This is not your everyday dragonfly shot for sure. looks like a scene from "Apocolypse Now"

The dragonfly really makes this picture. It'd be beautiful either way, but that adds an extra bit of visual interest that is really great.

Decent sunset, though there is little detail in the dragonfly.

beautiful sky but missing details in the trees.

Nice sunset. I like the silhouette of the trees.

Lovely sunset. I didn't know WHAT that was without the title.

now there's a catch! not much you could do about the exposure on the sun though

A sunrise or sunset have to be really crisp for me. This is just off. I like the dragonfly but since you titled it such the dragonfly should have been in more detail and sharper.

Great catch. The dragonfly looks very big this way!

Amazing that you caught the dragonfly going by. Nice colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:35:53 PM
stunning color
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:23:29 PM
Interesting shot. I'd crop off 1/3 on the right and some on the bottom. the bottom black is quite heavy and doesn't add that much... I still like it, thoguh

A dreamy shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice use of the rule of thirds. The placement of the sun is good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:57:23 PM
interesting shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:18:42 PM
Subtle and lovely. I like how the palm at left looks like a giant butterfly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:04:12 AM
very pretty silhouette

Wow. Good capture on that dragon fly. Nice colors to!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:34:14 PM
Very interesting feeling to this one, somewhat whimsical, but also somewhat ominous due to the color of the sky and the way that the shape of the trees mimic the shape of the clouds, as if black clouds are boiling up from below.

great capture of the dragon fly, wish it was a little closer to the camera but good job anyway :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:27:36 PM
very dramatic lighting, you have captured the sense of speed in the wings
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:16:23 PM
Did you know he was coming? Lovely quirky shot :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:36:24 PM
You have more patience than I have.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:35:53 PM
I like the idea. Too bad the dragonfly wasn't closer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:27:35 PM
Nice catch, I like it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:57:21 AM
The most interesting dragonfly I have seen in ages. If only you could have zoomed in for more impact
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:36:45 AM
love it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A beautiful capture. The clouds and the sun work together very nicely in this image. The dragon fly and the foliage are all bonuses.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:59:06 PM
Nice color and capture of an object in motion. The dragonfly gets a bit lost in the rest of the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Feels prehistoric, love it..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:57:51 PM
Nice coloration. Like the moody sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:19:12 AM
over all the picture is too dark in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:32:09 AM
I saw the dragonfly before I read the title. Nice catch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:30:20 AM
great capture of the dragonfly

to blown out for me, to much "flair"
